Leed’s hottest prospects The Raintree County are back with their third single ‘Lay In The Tall Grass’. With some killer This Feeling shows under their belt, can they transfer this confidence to the studio?
The previous two efforts have seen their influences laid bare. Enjoyable as they are, it’s here their own identity begins to stand up next to their heroes. The scouse rock n roll of The Real People remains but, they have a more measured approach. The sophisticated backing vocals demonstrate a band considering their every move, the results, a far more soulful sound enhancing their working class sounds.
As the closing psyche guitars swirl, the excitement of what this band could become grow steadfast. They have opened the doors for so many possibilities. Eight minute Andy Bell (Ride) guitar parts or Lee Mavers three-minute pop dittys could all emerge from this.
Despite the onset of winter, the future is blossoming for The Raintree County.
